QTR-Quadtone RIP

The only thing I can think of is that he's still using the old version
of install or drop-quad.
If he copied those programs to his own private folder he may be still
using the old stuff.
Make sure he gets a new version of install/drop-quad from the new
download.  Look under:
/Applications/QuadToneRIP/Profiles  or  /Applications/QuadToneRIP/CurveDesign
